First off I want to thank everyone that came to Anime Central 2004! We are here because of you and we as a staff take pride in putting on a great convention for all! With that aside I want to officially open the 2005 convention year. I am currently working very hard to get the year started off in the right direction. The Vice-Chair has already been picked and we are currently working on the selection of Section Chiefs. The Vice-Chair for this year is Rob Hogan. Rob has worked in both Registration and Convention Operations; he is a wonderful guy that will work hard for this convention. Any questions you have can be forwarded to me or him, though Rob will be handling most of the forum work in my stead as am not much of a forum person.
In addition to getting the year started, some changes are coming up on the horizon for improvements to the convention. I will get in to more detail about that later, once the top management is in place.

I am honored to serve as the Con-Chair this year and I look forward to talking with everyone and making wonderful ideas happen this convention year!
